Universal Credit Confusion; Tourism Slow-down; Viral Videos

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We'll investigate how the Universal Credit system is coping under the strain of thousands of new cases. There have been delays on the phone lines and in processing applications. We've asked the Department for Work and Pensions for the latest and we'll have some advice for claimants from the charity Turn2Us. We look at how the virus is affecting seaside towns that rely on tourism to survive. After a trying winter how will the lockdown affect their trade? Plus comedian Dom Joly on all those funny videos that are going viral online. You can find everything from funny sketches, to dance routines, and music parodies about Covid-19, but why are they so popular right now? Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Jess Quayle
